PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Oh diddums my poor heart bleeds. Maybe, just maybe the PL should have sat down and asked how much will this cost our member clubs and what are our chances of winning. I wonder how much in legal fees the PL has spent chasing the likes of the two sets of accounts red shirted wankers from over the road. What's that I hear you say, nothing to see here?

clearly, that figure is not true.
it's just more proof that operation "damage limitation" has commenced.

“I think it would be really unfair of me to talk about another club in the Premier League... but i will anyway".

what a fibber.

By any objective measure, these proceedings have been an entirely reckless undertaking by the PL.

I have no doubt whatsoever that if Masters could turn back the clock he would choose an entirely different path.

To commence any action that would be existential to the opposing (and well resourced) party you have to be sure of the ground you’re standing on. The respondent to such proceedings has no choice in the matter, but the initiating party does and they should approach it with great care.

To do so based an assumption is complete madness, especially as once you have done so the only control you retain over the proceeding entails capitulation.

The PL has painted themselves into the mother of all corners with this ill-conceived process and they’ve only got themselves to blame for it.

The levels of delusion in the PL executive are now truly bizzare, the clowns are writing rules targeted at some of rhe most eminent KCs and Judges, have they lost their frickin minds ?. Part of me thinks this must be BS..

New Premier League rules state that anyone sitting on an arbitration panel must confirm they are able to devote “sufficient time, diligence and industry to ensure the expeditious and efficient conduct of the arbitration” and avoid costly delays.

Hopefully when we wipe the floor with them it won't cost us anything but will cost the PL, and the clubs that were behind this, £400m.. after they're forced to pay our costs... and then we can start to talk about damages

These cunts knew this would cost a right lot of money when they decided to kick off over it, so they can fuck off with their whinging.

“New Premier League rules state that anyone sitting on an arbitration panel must confirm they are able to devote sufficient time, diligence and industry to ensure the expeditious and efficient conduct of the arbitration and avoid costly delays”.

Are the PL genuinely suggesting they never thought to check this with panel members prior to them taking the role?

What a massive shitshow.

They thought city were just going to roll over and die and it would be all over in a month or two

There are no lawyers anywhere on the planet who like to “avoid costly delays”.

question still is if they broke any rules at the time or not and did they benefit from it on a sporting level. dont think it matters much it was different ownership. if for us any imaginary Mancini payments still relevant a decade later, then surely Abra paying off agents off the books just as relevant, especially as for City the only person who might have cooked the books is Omar Berrada lol
paying off agents off the accounts to help move their players to Chelsea vs other interested PL clubs,

and simply not providing fair accounts for years, that is quite similar what some of our 115 charges are all about.

almost has the feel PL is working on proving Chelsea did not break rules despite they admitted they did. would never happen with City or even lower half sides.

there is some growing feeling about PL that they go hard vs Everton, Forest but go easy on the big boys. the Chelsea case is the test, where they self admitted quite bad things on how they operated for long years.
lot of fans say what about City, but our case is different as PL need to prove their charges even tho media and cartel made sure what the general consensus should be about City. guilty until proven innocent and al that.

The look on that twat Levys boat race suggested to me that it wasn't being funded by MCFC which is what we all hope for.
 
I’d imagine Levy may well lose any influence around the other CEOs if he’s the one that pushed the premier league into this.

Who are the 2 people who have been a PR tour talking about the case that they can’t talk about, trying to get their version out. “We only wanted to make sure rules were followed, we meant no harm, it’s not our fault.”

Next up Alison Brittain….

She has managed to keep herself out of this. I don't know how. She is Masters' boss for Christ's sake.
 
Just to add about Brittain I asked ChatGPT about her role in the APT….

Brittain’s Role in Governance

As chair, Brittain is responsible for:

• Oversight of regulatory integrity — ensuring rules are lawful, consistent, and fairly applied.
• Safeguarding the league’s reputation — especially in high-stakes legal disputes.
• Ensuring procedural fairness — which the tribunal found lacking in the Premier League’s treatment of City.


Her silence during these episodes — particularly after the tribunal’s ruling — raises serious questions about accountability and transparency. Critics argue that:

• The Premier League has weaponized flawed rules against City.
• Meanwhile, competitor clubs voted to tighten those same rules, even after they were deemed unlawful — a move that arguably entrenched unfair advantage A.


Broader Implications

This isn’t just about City. It’s about whether the Premier League:

• Can enforce rules consistently, or whether it’s vulnerable to political and financial influence.
• Is structurally biased, allowing certain clubs to shape regulations to their benefit.
